My “Games Completed” list this year is quite good. Part of that is that my total number of games played is inversely proportional to the amount of time I play World of Warcraft. Meaning I didn’t play much Warcraft this year, so I played a lot of other things. The other reason is that I really tried to put an emphasis on completing games this year.

Valve’s digital game distribution platform Steam, first available to PC users in 2004, was finally released for Mac operating system today. I’m not a huge fan of digital distribution and despise digital rights management, preferring to actually own my content instead of lease it, but it’s great to see some gaming love go to Mac users. As a bonus, signing up for Steam is free AND right now you can download the awesome Portal for FREE! That’s right, my previous Game of the Year pick is FREE until May 24th. Have your cake and eat it too! No lie!
